Chapter 109 - 110: Insecurity (2)
“Qin Zhiyou!” Lu Weixi couldn’t suppress her outburst anymore, especially after passing by the N University’s swimming pool earlier today, when she recalled the incident from years ago. Just how shameless could a guy be to intentionally push someone into the water? And all just to cause her harm? Even more outrageous, he didn’t do this because he liked her but just because she was his younger brother’s girlfriend.
Why do I say this? Because the day after he kissed her, she saw him walking hand-in-hand with another girl in the restaurant. Just a few days later, she saw him in a nightclub with another girl, surrounded by his rabble of friends. When he saw her with Qin Zhigu, he dared to smirk at them while cuddling the girl.
And back then, they weren’t even familiar with each other. Upon thinking, they had only seen each other a handful of times and barely exchanged a few sentences. Yet he dared to treat her this way. This guy was simply disgraceful and hateful!
The most outrageous part was, back then, she wasn’t his girlfriend but now, he was her lawful husband. Back in the day, she could hit him, piss him off, ignore him, and even run to Qin Zhigu for help. But facing Qin Zhiyou now, she was utterly defenseless.
Who told herself to choose him as her husband? Who instructed her life to take so many turns only to end up marrying him?
Lu Weixi wasn’t a fool. She couldn’t possibly fail to notice Qin Zhiyou’s recent attempts to get close to her. But as Qin Zhiyou said, it seemed like he was only interested in her body. He showed no interest in her feelings or anything else.
A woman may not accept a loveless marriage but a man certainly could, especially a man like Qin Zhiyou.
They weren’t a loving husband and wife to begin with, so pretending to be close to each other was unbearable for her.
Qin Zhiyou moved closer to her, his voice a little hoarse: “Don’t worry…”
“Qin Zhiyou. I remembered what happened in the swimming pool years ago.”
Qin Zhiyou paused, recalling her visit to N University today. Was she speaking about the incident where she nearly drowned, or the time they kissed in the pool?
“That was your first kiss, right?”
“Qin Zhiyou!” Lu Weixi was slightly annoyed. Was that the main point? The key point was, they were never lovers from the beginning. If anything, this guy was just a male version of a mistress. He was even the worst type, stealing his own cousin’s girlfriend! Now, he was acting so carefree and fearless!
With his behaviors back then, he deserved to be beaten to death!
“Oh, don’t worry, you won’t choke on water again. I promise.”
After many years of marriage, he had trained her from an innocent girl who became furious just from his single kiss, to a worldly woman who anticipated his return home for the living expenses. But, with or without love made a huge difference. He might be her husband, but he was not her lover. She didn’t want to be so intimate with him.
The sound of water pouring, the bathtub gradually filled and then lessened. With water flooding the bathroom, their slippers began to float in the makeshift sea.
It took her a while to regain her strength, “You can go first, I want to rest.”
However, as soon as the water movement shifted, she looked back to meet his mischievous gaze.
When everything finally settled, both she and Qin Zhiyou discovered that they had made a big mess.
